Ripping up the rampion - my champion... I've got to have my wish... I have learned things... Rapunzel! Eeeyew, he wants to compare our hair to corn! Tell me about the prince... What-? You've changed...you're different in the woods. She's milking! Off with the toes! Happy ever after! Into the woods!
"James Lapine and Stephen Sondheim have fashioned a musical which goes beyond mere Broadway razzmatazz. Sondheim's songs, seamlessly melded to Lapine'stext, are perfect expressions of character and action which reflect the complications we encounter on the paths of our lives.  The production won three 1988 Tony Awards including Best Book and Best Score. In addition to its successful Broadway run, Into the Woods has toured the country and produced a Grammy-award winning original cast album."
